1. Friends, and my family.
2. I don't care about famous persons at all, so they can spend a nice afternoon at home.
3. Yes, often because I used to live in the area in the Netherlands where all famous people live. So I met them in shops, on the street, etc. And I meet famous scientists every now and then. And you know what? They are people, just like you and me.

1. Sitting in a hot sauna after having spent hours outside working in the garden or walking the dog.
2. There's really only one person I don't like. I try to stay away from her and not think about her.
3. Sorry, pea soup doesn't work well with my irritable bowel.

1. What kind of food do you eat too often?
2. What kind of food do you eat too seldom?
3. Is there any kind of food you would like to eat, but can't. If so, enlighten us.

[tsa]

1. Pasta. I like pasta. It's easy to make and it's tasty.
2. Fish. I like fish too, but it takes more time to cook and it's expensive.
3. I must take care of my salt intake, so salty things are out of the question for me. I was never much of a salty eater, but I do love cheese and hard sausages. I miss those. Luckily there are crisps now with 25% less salt on them than on normal crisps, which makes them affordable for me in small amounts. And they still taste good, too.

1. You suddenly find yourself naked on an uninhabited tropical island. What would you do during the first weeks and how would you go about it?
2. You suddenly find yourself in a bus. Soon it turns out the driver is drunk and he has almost caused a bad accident already. What would you do?
3. You wake up in a small diving craft that is on its way to the bottom of the deepest trough in the Atlantic ocean. There are little windows, cameras and screens everywhere that show you what is happening outside. Would you enjoy the trip?

[Squinky]

1. Assuming it's not monsoon season, I'd probably just run around singing "I'm naked! I'm naked!" as loud as I possibly can. And, you know, forage for food and shelter.
2. Get off at the next stop. If he's not stopping, try and get the help of other passengers to stage an intervention and/or call the cops.
3. Yes, provided we'd be guaranteed enough oxygen, etc.

1. I'm not really that fond of pies (despite appearences to the contrary!) but Mrs Degree occasionally makes a Steak and Ale Pie with Puff Pastry that I absolutely love.

2. I once had a cream of courgette soup in this turkish cafe which was probably the nicest soup I have ever had.

3. Sometimes Jalapenos because I have to be in the mood for that sort of thing!

1. It's vanilla ice-cream with raspberry sauce and my own chocolate sauce (secret recipe).
2. The closest to desert I've seen is the Maspalomas on Gran Canaria and I'm not sure it's even a 'real' desert.
3. I love broccoli and can't stand Brussels sprouts.

1. Just a few minutes ago when I was talking to Luna.
2. None. I never watch them.
3. That's a hard one. It used to be my uncle but he is bitter now after a whole life of being a teacher... I think it's my colleague S. She always talks so funny, even when she is serious.

I like your questions Jelena, and I will pass them to the next person

1. I can't remember when I last lawled, but the last time I laughed silently was yesterday when I saw this.
2. Midtown Cowboys.
3. I know lots of funny people, most of whom are women (in spite of certain assertions that only men can be funny). It's hard to pick just one.

Can you translate the difficult words for me?

And you can't remember when you last lol'd? That is so sad.

I can, but I won't, because I have no time.

It was probably sometime in recent memory. (i.e. within the last week) I just can't pinpoint exactly when.

[tsa]

My life is so unfair and sucks so bad that I can only laugh in its face!

1. People that think higly of themselves and take themselves very seriously. In other words: people who think the world revolves around them.
2. I don't know but I don't have the impression that you fall in the above category so you're OK in my book.
3. If you manage to get 140 characters in Life Flashes By you're a genius and you put far too many in there. I will not be able to remember who is who then.

1. Do you like nature documentaries?
2. Do you like to be in 'nature?'
3. When will our planet revenge us for our lifestyle?

[Squinky]

1. Not really.
2. Only when there's internet access.
3. It's been doing so passive-aggressively for decades, but we've mostly been ignoring it.

1. Have you ever had to deal with someone not paying back money they owe you? If so, what did you do about it?
2. Do you get motion sickness? If so, what from?
3. Do you ever have the persistent feeling that all your friends are one day going to discover you're a complete loser and ditch you?

3. Do you ever have the persistent feeling that all your friends are one day going to discover you're a complete loser and ditch you?

1. Yes, years ago. It was such a small amount that I let it go and made sure I never had to deal with that person again.
2. Yes, once one a small boat my uncle had. Man did I feel sick.
3. No because I am not a loser and BTW, nor are you Squinky. Stop thinking that.

1. Do you like helicopters?
2. Do you like tits?
3. Do you like shooting?

Thanks, tsa. It's hard not to think that when I've had it happen before, numerous times, but I try.

1. I don't recall ever riding one, so I can't really say, but they're cool in theory.
2. Who doesn't like titmice? They're adorable.
3. Only if it's not meant to hurt anyone.

Have you really had all your friends leave you at once? I find that hard to believe. Or is that your worst nightmare?

1. I'm not sure. I don't like, for example, anonymous posting because I find it a bit childish. But in some cases it's unavoidable to do things anonymously.
2. Yes. Every person needs privacy.
3. We have a saying in Dutch: Eerlijk duurt het langst (Honesty lasts the longest). I think that says it all.


I hope you don't mind me passing your questions to the next person, Squinks.

Sometimes, things happen to other people that one finds hard to believe because they themselves haven't experienced it. That's just how life is.

[tsa]

I am aware of that; that's why I didn't say that I don't believe it. But to suddenly find yourself abandoned by all your friends must be a terrible experience .
